East Rudham, near Fakenham

18 The Green

Writes Bryn Frank: 'We've stayed in many holiday cottages in Norfolk, but especially enjoyed a few days in July 2007 in this absolutely pristine, neat, clean, tidy and well equipped property'.

The demand for Norfolk holiday cottages is of course highest when they are close to the coast. East Rudham is only half an hour from, say, Wells-next-the Sea or Hunstanton but also well placed for the deeply rural hinterland. It's also just 15 minutes' drive from pleasant Fakenham. (Says Bryn Frank: 'We had friends staying near South Raynham, a delightful 20 minute bike ride from the cottage.')

Though it's close to the A148 King's Lynn to Cromer road the cottage is actually set well back from that across East Rudham's village green.

Like many a Norfolk holiday cottage No 18 and the adjacent No 17 (they're semi-detached) are recent conversions, very well fitted and kitted out. Specifically, they have three smallish (double) bedrooms, a bathroom with bath and over-bath shower, and central heating. Two dogs per cottage are welcome, and there's ample parking.
